A.) Describe how the phenomenon of bioaccumulation occurs in an ecosystem. What chemical/physical properties make a compound bioaccumulate? Which organisms are affected the most and why?

B.) Which scientist is first credited for bringing this phenomenon to light, what book did she write? Briefly explain the reaction and ultimate outcomes that resulted.

2. Explain how the wildlife values of different seral (successional) stages change during the process of succession in the lowland forests of Western Washington in terms of forage, browse and cover. Be sure to describe how this relates to the diversity and structural complexity of these stages.
